As worded, that would seem to indicate they can't even leave since it says they shall stand there (or be located there) throughout the game.

It could also be read to say that no one can be in on the sidelines since non playing personnel SHALL be located...

I believe it is also intended to refer to people at court level. Some venues have bleachers on the endlines. Are they suggesting that the bleachers within the lane lines extended remain vacant?
